So, I guess it’s time I told you something...

Today's #1000wordsofsummer post by Colson Whitehead easily my favourite. 'Dust just hangs out under the couch like a lazy bitch. If dust can accumulate into a mountain, so can your sentences.' Love this. I've been editing, not writing, this time but it's still been very inspiring

In David’s defense, the only reason he said that transphobes like JK Rowling are little whinging fuckers is because they are, in fact, little whinging fuckers.

Given lit trends, I'm rebranding my book as smut. It's about the romance of salmon, who navigate oceans & rivers to fuck & perish. It's about the sensuous slithering of lamprey; the orgiastic joy of herring; the bondage of male anglerfish. Cover art depicts a bull shark in a bodice. Ichthyoerotica.

Feeling grateful for women everywhere. Without you we’d be nothing. Happy #InternationalWomensDay
